<p>For the Math Level II subject test, do I need to memorize the double angle and half-angle formulas? What about the sum and difference of the angle formulas? Approximately how many questions on these topics are there on each test? I'm just trying to figure out whether I should spend my time trying to memorize these formulas, or if it would be a waste of time.
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Bump! Anyone?</p>
<p>I’m also taking the Math II subject test. Why don’t you just get Barron’s workbook, do a practice test or two and put any important formulas or concepts that come up in the tests into your calculator (need a graphing calculator to do this). This is what i’m doing anyways.</p>
<p>thelemonisinplay: You don’t need to remember the sum and difference of the angle formulas if you are referring to sin(a+B) = blablabla.
but if i remember, you do need to know cos2a and sin2a and know that sin(180-a)=sina and cos(-a)=cos(a).</p>
<p>My biggest advice for you is just to do the 2 tests from the bluebook, and do tests from barrons. and you can see exactly what you will run into. BTW i also did tests from mcgraw hills since i ran out of tests, but since you’re doing the JUNE test you wont have time for that, and i don’t recommend doing more than 2 tests a day. and make sure you go over the incorrect questions after you check your tests.
P.S: I got 800 on MATHII on the last May exam.</p>
<p>So are the formulas containing tan and cot generally not tested? I just don’t want to waste my time memorizing them when I could be studying the other topics and for chemistry.
@thenaga I don’t have time to order the Barrons or the blue book I am using Dr. Chung’s book atm. Do you think I will be able to make an 800 on the real thing if I get 700s on his tests?</p>
<p>well low constant 700 no i dont think so: and thelemeonisplay: u can buy it from amazon/ebook instant purchase thats what idid.</p>
<p>Okay… My goal is really just a 750+ on both math 2 and chem. I hope that’s realistic if I take multiple practice tests every day this week.</p>
<p>I got an 800 on math2. You don’t need to memorize all the annoying trig formulas (you can just plug numbers into your calculator). You should, though, have a basic understanding of things you may not have covered or only barely covered, like vectors, matrices, etc. Hope this helps! Good luck on the test!</p>
